What this trial studies

This observational study aims to establish a longitudinal cohort of mother-child pairs among American Indian/Alaska Native and Hispanic populations to investigate how maternal health, lifestyle, and environmental factors influence childhood obesity and metabolic risks. Pregnant women will participate in multiple visits during and after pregnancy, while their children will be monitored for growth and health outcomes in their early years. The study focuses on understanding the associations between maternal risk factors and child development from birth through adolescence.
